Abstract:
Advertisement for Unguentine, an ointment. Card features a black, white and red illustration of a long-haired woman and a man on a beach. The text is a short parody of John Greenleaf Whittier's poem "Maud Muller" from 1856. The woman wearing a red short dress with black stockings stands on the beach near the water and has her hands on the back of her head. Her long hair is blowing in the wind. The man in a black tank top and black swim shorts stands behind her. Cartoon-style sun is on the top left corner. In the background, there are five women wearing long dresses on the beach and three people in the water. On the right is a large tube of Unguentine and in the back is a brick lighthouse with a sign "Unguentine" on it.
